    Thank you for the clarification regarding the Microsoft vulnerable driver blocklist. I really appreciate your assistance and will not waste any more time trying to fix the issue.

    It is interesting that Microsoft L1 and L2 service did not know the feature was in test mode. Microsoft support said it was a know issue. Very sloppy implementation of the test feature by Microsoft. They should have masked the fields from the Windows GUI and not enabled a desktop icon caution that a Security setting is not functioning properly.

    Yes this ⬆️ Plus you're welcome all 😊glad I could help in some way. From previous tech support experience with various companies though I noticed its common for the Tech team to roll out changes without notifying the customer facing Support team and leaving them to look like idiots with no clue. Been there before. But still you'd hope for better from Microsoft. You'd think the testing of such a prominent feature would have been kept within the Insider circle until ready to roll out.

    In my senior year of college, I'm not attempting to fix this on a laptop under 15000. I also hope that an update will help them resolve this issue. I am writing to express my gratitude for responding to me so soon.
